Micromanaging manger tries to ban yoga pants, big hairy dude makes them part of his daily wear

If you're going to try and strictly enforce a rule, you'd better make sure that that rule is actually a rule first — otherwise, you're just opening a door that you might wish you had left closed. In this case, that door is a big hairy man rocking a tight pair of yoga pants.

This caring coworker thought…

'Don't sign it': Worker gets written up for discussing pay with coworkers, internet offers their advice

It's surprising just how often this discourse emerges online; it should be common knowledge among employers that they simply can't tell workers that they aren't allowed to discuss their pay. Not only is it not a good idea and encourages employees to discuss their pay, but it's completely illegal in the United States.

woman starts a new job with a millennial as a boss and she has never been happier working somewhere, before she had only worked with boomers and Gen-X as management and she says it was the worst

'Now THIS is a boss!:' Woman Who Has Only Had ‘Narcissistic & Psychotic’ Boomer and Gen-X Bosses Shares Refreshingly Professional Email From Her New Millennial Boss

It's becoming more and more evident that the workplace culture that the Boomers set into effect many moon ago is not working anymore. So far the boomers are holding as tight as they can to it and Gen-X have been enforcing it. However, millennials are a different story. Millennials were told they could be whatever they wanted to be, but not told what the options were or how to obtain them. When they started to enter the workforce, they were called lazy, entitled, and many other things. So, mille…

The job interview process can be incredibly arduous and time-consuming; applying for a new role can be like working a second part-time or full-time job.

‘What Are You, a Snowflake?’ : 20 Blunt Signs That Don’t Beat Around the Bush

I wonder whose job it is to double-check these things or come up with the mottos. Who approved these for the masses? Maybe the job is so boring that it leaves no choice to the employee but to make their own life more interesting. A couple of these signs are oddly specific as if there is a very peculiar backstory… makes m…

'I am NOT AVAILABLE': Manager decides to change student worker's availability during their school holiday without talking to them

Communication is a key part of any business. Being able to have simple conversations with staff and other workgroups is an important part of being a manager.
